Why are our Industrial Switches Stable and Reliable?

One of the most obvious features of an Industrial Switch is its rugged enclosure. Compared with the galvanized steel plate with the same industrial shell material, our industrial switch adopts aluminum alloy shell, and the industrial protection grade reaches IP40 or above. This sturdy housing is designed and constructed to be completely sealed, so the performance of the industrial switch will not be degraded when it is subjected to impact and vibration, fluid pollution such as water, oil, moisture, corrosion and direct sunlight.

As we all know, the moving parts in electronic equipment are the most common failure points. The cooling fan is one of the most necessary components in commercial enterprise switches and routers. However, the cooling fan can also be said to be an outdated component, because the existence of the cooling fan makes the equipment have the lowest MTBF (mean between failure) under normal operating conditions. The cooling fan can not withstand the harsh external environment in outdoor and industrial environments. Therefore, the industrial switch series all adopt components that release lower heat, and the shell is designed as a corrugated shell that contacts the external air to the maximum extent to release internal heat and absorb cooler external air.

Under the hard sealed shell, what is the inside of the our industrial switch like?

We use design and production from scratch to provide more compact PCB and power components. These industrial components fully meet the more robust specifications for industrial applications, as well as higher electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) requirements.

When it comes to outdoor and other industrial environments, we first think that these places usually have unstable power supplies, which is a problem for most switches and sensitive electronic components. Because the slightest surge will damage ordinary commercial computers and electronic equipment. Therefore, our Industrial switch has been equipped with a solid and durable power supply from the beginning, which can support stable DC power input and redundant power supply, and prevent vibration and shock. In addition, there is built-in protection against extreme surges and instability, which can maintain efficiency at high temperatures.

As the main function of the industrial switch is data transmission, the commercial RJ-45 interface and the way of connecting the power line to the commercial switch make the equipment and interface affected by environmental factors. The RJ-45 network interface of Houshi Industrial Switch is specially designed to prevent dust or debris from entering the switch, so as to ensure the normal operation of the switch.

When it comes to the interior of an industrial switch, the most important thing is the industry-leading industrial chip solution it carries. The industrial chip can be said to be the "brain" of the industrial switch. Whether the industrial switch is intelligent or not and how it operates depends on the chip scheme used. At the same time, the chip scheme also affects a series of technical parameters of the industrial switch.

The chip solutions of general industrial switches mainly include Broadcom, Marvell, VTS and Realtek. As far as the industrial switch chip solution is concerned, although Broadcom is relatively expensive, it has the best performance, high compatibility, fast speed and high stability. Marvell follows closely. Although other schemes have cost advantages, there is a gap in performance. The full range of products of our Industrial switches can be customized according to customer needs. From the selection of components to the adoption of high-performance industrial chip solutions, stable operation can be guaranteed throughout the time.
